What Does it Mean to “Look with Holy Spirit?”

I recognize I am wrong-minded as soon as I’m triggered by something. This is the immediate sign that I need to exchange my wrong perception for the Atonement. Often, when I’m confused by my misperception or an appearance of adversity, I will take a few moments to drop in to my heart center and look at my confusion or fear with Holy Spirit.

For me, looking with Holy Spirit means to be present to my Self in that moment. And I can only be present to my Holy Self when I am willing to show-up for my Self without judgment of any kind. There may be emotion, there may be frustration but in that moment I choose to suspend judgment of what I am feeling.

If I can just allow the emotion to run its course while observing it without judgment, I find that it will always lead to release and a shift. However this also involves being alert to any (ego) stories that I’m telling myself about it. If I am looking at the seeming problem or emotion and there are any judgments or self-judgments then I’m looking with the ego, with fear; and no healing takes place.

When I am willing to take a moment to sit within and to silence all judgment then from that Sacred space the miracle of healing arises. It happens because I have invited the conditions for it to transpire; I am in a receptive state so I can then ACCEPT the perceptual correction from Love itself. This is the Atonement.

Thanks, Nouk
I tended to go up into my head – thinking I was “rising” above the thoughts and feelings! Sometimes there is a little “motor” that is churning in my center, but that just shows where I need to look first, I suppose.
Much love

Sue, often the last place we want to go is into our emotions/feelings. But this is a gold mine when we look with Spirit (and not the ego’s story). If there’s resistance to feeling the emotions…can you gently ask yourself “why?” What is the worst case scenario if you dare to feel your feelings (with Spirit/without stories or judgment)? Might be good to exhume this too 😉

Can you please help me? This is going to sound childish and elementary and I have asked you and Jesus a similar question before, so please forgive me. IS “GOD” simply LOVE? I have such a difficult time with the word “God”. Somehow it instantly triggers a feeling of judgment, “someone” different from “me”, something or someone Who might be disappointed in me (as I am in myself). But LOVE is something that I have felt, even if it is severely limited by my (and all of our) human-ness. UG … I don’t even know WHAT exactly I am asking … maybe you could ask Jesus for me? I am feeling a bit lost.

Hi Denise,
Yes, God IS Love. You ARE this Love. But it’s a Love that cannot be threatened. It has no judgment, no conflict, no pain and no suffering. It is pure and eternally UN-INTERRUPTED Joy. This Love is a deep feeling of infinite safety. It’s a Beingness that is infinitely secure. This Love is incorruptible and therefore invulnerable. All this is because it rests completely on your INNOCENCE. You ARE the One Love of God (use what word you want to substitute. )
The Christ is the “I AM”. This is your Holy Self. The Supreme Source of Love (God) created his one, precious CHILD. You are that Child.
ALLOWING JESUS IN…

“Jesus is HERE all the time. It’s just your own (ego) self-doubt that obscures his direct communication with you. Trust me…He is available to you in every instant. You might give him the pen, so to speak. Allow Him to write to you, telling you just how He sees you, appreciates you, and cherishes you and why He TRUST’S you implicitly. Let Him tell you about your spotless innocence, and as a result, let Him show you your complete INVULNERABLITY in His Love. Just don’t allow the ego to censor this writing as it pours forth. This will be the Truth – as you’ve never heard it before.”

Oh Nouk. Thank you so very much for your (The) Answer. I am still SO sick (physically), and my body just continues to decline. When I am reading your books, this blog and watching you on YouTube I am inspired and hopeful. But like so many others who post here, getting out from under our pain-wracked, sick bodies is a terribly difficult thing. My mind actually feels severed sometimes … I don’t want to have to fear food, but my gut is ravaged and I suffer immediate illness if I am not careful. However, none of this is what I want to burden you with … what I want to do is thank you from the depths of my soul for the hope you and Jesus give me. I WILL FIND MY WAY OUT OF THIS! Thank you again, dear Nouk. I love you. Denise

Dear Denise, I asked Jesus about this. And the greatest contribution to your healing that I can make, is to JOIN wholeheartedly (without words) in the certainty of your complete healing. After all – your full healing IS God’s Will.

Your Healing is already made manifest. Your body’s eyes do not see it yet because you’ve grown so accustomed to trusting what your body’s senses tell you via the ego. The TRUTH is that only Healing exists in Truth. You still believe that you’re “missing something”; that you’re not doing it “right” or that the illness somehow has dominion over God’s Will. Ultimately, you believe there is: 1) a problem and 2) that something IS wrong. That’s the tricky ego! There is nothing wrong regardless of continuing appearances.

Imagine how you’d feel if you knew without a shadow of a doubt that you ARE completely guiltless, that there is nothing wrong, that you are perfect and that this illness is simply a shadow that will soon change to reflect your new-found SELF-LOVE and self-acceptance. Imagine that you have absolute CERTAINTY that God has already Healed your perception and its bodily effects? Can you feel the peace of knowing that you’re completely safe and perfect? This is a moment of NO FEAR. This is the Holy Instant where the miracle takes the place of a dream of fear, sickness and pain. Only this is real. The pain is a mirage to convince you that YOU are wrong, that you are unworthy of God’s Love as complete Healing.

Allow yourself to fall deeply into the silence and profound innocence within you. This is your Healing. Claim it and do not allow the ego’s appearances to tempt you to doubt that healing is already DONE in God’s Love. Time is not required when acceptance is whole.

Often in your wonderful teaching you have instructed that we should not “give up” magic, since it would indeed be our own sneaky egos doing the giving up, i.e., discontinuing medicine, etc. Beginning tomorrow (10/10), my gastroenterologist wants me to keep a very detailed journal of everything I consume. This whole process (the gut/malabsorption issues and focusing on “effects” like food) just reeks of ego. But living in a body in this world does entail certain “laws”. Such as we wouldn’t wake up in the morning and drink gasoline! 🙂 Do you have any thoughts or suggestions for me?

Dear Denise,
Here is something that came through this morning: http://undoing-the-ego.org/noukblog/?p=1123 I hope it helps some. However my greatest service to you is JOINING you in the Truth of God’s Certain Will for you. Magic or no magic…you must follow the Love and Peace that lead you from within.
Much Love,
Nouk 🙂
